Women are mostly expert in mixing and matching furniture and
things around the room. When they are in charge, even the bulkiest piece has
its own space. Yet, in our years of service, The
Peterson Group Bespoke Condominium and Residences, expert in
providing best luxury condominium and residential to expatriates in Singapore, Jakarta,
Indonesia, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Hong Kong, has witnessed even
the most creative women struggle on arranging their own furniture. The interior
designs may not be in their liking or they may be finding something which is
lacking. For whatever the reason, all of us experience the dilemma on furniture
arranging every now and then.
1.
Don’t put everything by the wall
The common mistake of
small apartment owners is to keep every item they have by the wall to create a
larger space to move in. The sofa may be pushed up against the wall along with
the other cabinets and near the fireplace. Except if you fancy shouting at each
other across the room, its high time to rearrange. Try ‘floating’ your sofa in
the middle of the room near the fireplace to create a cozier and more
comfortable conversation area.
2. Take
Advantage of the Magic of Lighting
Lighting is one of the
most important elements of space. A dark corner can create an impression of dead
end. Lighting and its placement can maximize the size of the room. You can use
a lamp and a chandelier at your disposal. Besides, you don’t want your guest to
complain much of the dark areas in your space.
3.
Don’t be afraid to mix and match various sizes
Every object has a height, depth and width. To add visual
interest to any space, incorporate a variety of furniture with different
characteristics. If you're going for a serene, unchallenging area for rest or
recovery, keep the furnishing volumes in a room similar. A small lamp can
complement a large sofa or a queen size bed can steal the focus out of your
small drawer.
4.
Create a Focal Point
Most condo owners ignore
the warning of visual overcrowding and stuff their rooms with ample amount of
items which steal each other’s visuals. Focus on one thing and layout your room
around it. Create your own focal point by hanging a large piece of art on a
wall or create a vignette of favorite objects on a console or bookshelf.
